No, you just aren't willing to accept the existence of God.

Isn't that what I said? Back to the creation of man.

You're welcome to your opinion. Take it up with God. You'll have your opportunity. Then you can try to argue with Him. Good luck.

No, not by Paul, but by Jesus Christ. Paul accepted Christ after Christianity was already established. Sorry.

Well of course. Faith-oriented people don't debunk their beliefs, it takes a fact-oriented person to do that. There are lots of people who seriously, deeply believe that they have been abducted by ufos. Their entirely genuine belief doesn't translate into verifiable fact.

Nope. Until paul came along, jesus' followers still thought of themselves as jews. It was paul who made it something else. We know this because paul and james the brother of jesus argued about whether new converts needed to be circumcised and follow the other tenets of jewish law. The brother of jesus lost that argument.

No, I read his bio. I laugh at people who try to tell me one religion is much better than another religion. They are all founded on fictional stories about fictional "gods."

Got any proof of this existence beyond just "believing?" I believe in Santa Clause more than I believe in your imaginary friend. Though I love the term, "willing to accept," as if one should question the existence, just believe what others tell you.

Religion is silly because every religion thinks theirs is more right than the other.

You are aware that man has been around long before the existence of Christianity, right?
